Adult Basic Skills (ABS) ABS classes are designed for students who do not have a high school diploma and need to review and improve basic skills in math, science, social studies and reasoning through language arts. Students in ABS classes may be referred to the GED Ready practice test once qualifying scores have been achieved.

Eligibility

To be eligible for FREE ABS classes, students must:

Be 18 years or older.

Officially withdrawn from high school.

Attend an Adult Basic Skills GED orientation.

Call 410-777-1823 to schedule an orientation appointment.

GED Ready

GED Ready (practice test) is half the length of the actual GED tests and includes questions similar in order in content, difficulty and format to the actual tests. This is an excellent predictor of how you may perform on the official tests. After completing GED Ready, staff will meet with you to discuss your scores and make recommendations.
